Tested from 8.04 (Hardy Heron) to 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) on Ubuntu Server 64-bit. ===== Required Packages ===== <code>sudo apt-get install alien</code> ===== Configuration ===== Log on, download and convert the [[wp>RPM_Package_Manager|RPM]] file to a [[wp>Deb_(file_format)|DEB]] package: <code> wget http://download.adaptec.com/raid/storage_manager/asm_linux_x64_v6_50_18579.tgz tar xvf asm_linux_x64_v6_50_18579.tgz alien --script manager/StorMan-6.50.x86_64.rpm </code> Become root, install and start the package: <code> sudo -s dpkg -i storman_6.50-18580_amd64.deb service stor_agent start </code> ===== Operation ===== For full read/write access to all the Storage Manager options, you must log in with the root account. Other user accounts will give view only access. On a standard Ubuntu installation the root account is disabled for security purposes. Therefore before launching Storage Manager, set a password for root with: <code>sudo passwd root</code> Once you have made the necessary changes to your RAID controller, remember to disable the account again with: <code>sudo passwd -dl root</code> To start Storage Manager on a machine with a local [[wp>X_server|X server]]: <code>sudo /usr/StorMan/StorMan.sh</code> From a remote desktop to a headless server: <code> ssh -X <hostname> sudo /usr/StorMan/StorMan.sh </code> Where ''<hostname>'' is the name of the server upon which you installed ASM. ===== See Also ===== * [[sigma:how_to]] * [[sigma:contact]]
